Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 135 Birthday Banquet
As soon as Xiaocui's words were spoken, Lin Rantong felt that the whole scene seemed to be frozen in an instant, and fell silent for a while.

Everyone looked at Lin Rantong.

When Lin Chuyang saw Lin Rantong standing there calmly, he couldn't help but get angry, and strode over. Cui Zhenlei, who was next to him, quickly followed after seeing him.

There were whispers of people.

"Who is that girl, why is she called the eldest lady?" a person asked strangely.

The other person shook his head: "I don't know, and Lin Chuyang, when did he become the second lady?"

For a while, the atmosphere of gossip was floating among the people, but they had seen too many scenes of brothers and sisters suddenly appearing, and they didn't say anything too explicit. Lin Chuyang stretched his neck to watch the show.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Chuyang walked to Lin Rantong's side, he calmed down instead, and just looked straight into Lin Rantong's eyes and said, "Sister, why did you come?" The voice was very aggrieved.

Miss?Hearing Lin Chuyang's address, everyone confirmed the guess in their hearts, and their eyes shone even brighter.

"Sorry, Chuyang, I have been delayed for a while." Lin Rantong looked at Lin Chuyang's attitude and said.

"Ah, Rantong, you're here, come quickly, it's been a long time, hey, why didn't Xiaoyu come?" Cui Zhenlei laughed.

Lin Chuyang echoed: "Yes, big sister, they invited your friends, why didn't any of them come, big sister, you came so late, so you don't want to give me face." He said pitifully, while talking , even stretched out his hand to hold Lin Rantong's arm.

Lin Rantong has always been disgusted with other people's physical contact, especially when this person is not someone she likes, when she sees this person, she looks aside calmly, and Lin Chuyang rushes to nothing.

Lin Chuyang froze on the spot, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he called out in a long voice, "Eldest sister—"

Lin Chuyang wore a light pink puff-sleeved slim dress today. The neckline was wide open, revealing a delicate collarbone, and a warm pearl necklace was worn around her white neck. , that kind of sweet and innocent breath can't be stopped.

At this time, she was aggrieved, wrinkled her little nose, and stood there pitifully, which made many people feel sorry for her.In addition, everyone didn't know Lin Rantong at first, and they didn't have friendship with her, so some people immediately complained.

"Chuyang, where did this guy come from? He's so unruly!" A delicate voice came.

Lin Rantong followed the voice, and saw a girl walking over, holding Lin Chuyang's hand, and looking at her demonstratively.

The girl had short ear-length hair, and a simple but chic little hairpin pinned to her bangs. With big eyes, she looked playful and cute, but her slightly bigger mouth ruined her temperament.

"Yiyi, don't say that, this is my eldest sister." Lin Chuyang said hurriedly, but mist appeared in his eyes, and he tried to hold back his tears.

"Chuyang, you are so gentle and kind. How can there be such a big sister, who came only after the banquet is almost over, tsk tsk, it seems that you are still empty-handed." The girl named Yiyi said while looking at Lin Rantong.

Lin Rantong looked at the girl who came out to protect the flowers halfway, and thought to herself: Do the girls have such a strong sense of justice now? Those men rushed over before they even made a move.

What Lin Rantong didn't know was that those men were all in the mood of watching a good show at this time. If Lin Rantong was so ugly that he couldn't see people, there might have been men running over to protect the flowers, but Lin Rantong's No one among the girls present could match her appearance, so no matter how pitiful and weak Lin Chuyang was, they didn't jump out in a hurry. Instead, they enjoyed watching the wonderful PK of the two beauties.

Lin Rantong glanced at her empty hands. She really didn't think of bringing a gift at the time. She had no choice. She never remembered things for those who didn't care.Just like when she was in school, she was about to graduate and there were still a few classmates, and she couldn't tell who was right.

"Elder sister, don't take it to heart, Yiyi has such a quick temper." Lin Chuyang said softly, the tone was completely inherited from Aunt Cui, and listening to it made people feel better.

"Chuyang, because of some accidents, you didn't have time to prepare your gift. I will make it up later." Lin Rantong said as he followed Lin Chuyang into the venue, and it didn't seem to her that it was not enough. The girls of the opponent's grade care about it.

However, Lin Rantong's neglectful attitude infuriated the girl named Yiyi even more, and she sneered: "If you dress like this for a birthday party, are you here to celebrate or to spoil the scene?"

"Yes, yes." Several girls echoed.

Lin Rantong glanced at the crowd, and found that most of the girls looking at her had hostility in their eyes, while the men were playful.She sat down in a place where no one was around, and ate in silence.She only hoped that the party would end soon, that she would complete the task assigned by her father and leave.

It's just that things will not go as well as she thought, just as she took a bite of the creamy snack, she saw Cui Zhenlei sitting over and began to show off his eloquence.Lin Rantong nodded perfunctorily, focusing on eating.

After a while, just when Lin Rantong felt his ears were callused, he heard a girl say: "Today is Chuyang's birthday, we discussed it, in addition to giving you a gift, each of us has to perform a show, come on." express our hearts."

Lin Rantong didn't know if it was an illusion, but he noticed that the girl glanced in her direction.

Lin Rantong sneered in her heart, what is this Lin Chuyang planning to do, she really should have lived in ancient times, fighting with a bunch of wives and concubines every day.A young girl, how can she be so playful, she really is better than blue than blue.Thinking of Aunt Cui's gentle smile that has remained unchanged for more than ten years, Lin Rantong felt a chill.

When several men heard this proposal, they all applauded loudly, and the whistles sounded one after another.

I saw a girl who came up first and sang a song, which turned out to be "One Like Summer, Another Like Autumn", which was once very popular.The voice is beautiful, the melody is beautiful, and the atmosphere is instantly warmed up.

Then the girl named Yiyi came up, took the flute and played beamingly, and after she finished playing, with the warm applause of the crowd, she took a demonstrative look at Lin Rantong.

The girls who came up afterward all performed brilliantly, and at the end they all said in unison: "Chuyang, happy birthday!"

Lin Chuyang stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said in a choked up voice, "Thank you, thank you." This is my first birthday after the end of the world. I thought it was a bit shabby to do so, but I didn't expect it to be The one that made her the happiest, especially when she finally came.Thinking of this, Lin Chuyang glanced at Lin Rantong.

Lin Rantong stared at the table in front of him full of all kinds of pastries, dishes, and the just-grilled golden-yellow barbecue, and suddenly felt extremely boring.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here even if I quarreled with my father. I would have joined in the fun with a bunch of idle men and women.

"Chuyang, now it's your turn, the birthday star, to show us your demeanor." Juanjuan shouted.

Lin Chuyang smiled and said: "Okay." Surrounded by all the girls, like a little princess in a fairy tale, he walked to the side of the venue, where there was a piano.

She lifted the corner of her skirt with her fingers, sat down gracefully, tried the sound, and then a piece of music flowed out with the dancing of her slender fingers, the sound was beautiful and sad, romantic and moving.

For a moment, all the men and women in the audience were paying attention to Lin Chuyang. I have to say that her playing level is indeed very good.

Lin Rantong quietly looked at Lin Chuyang who was concentrating on playing the piano piece. Why did she choose this piece? Romance alone?
Ha ha, it is indeed a good song that can touch people's hearts.

With the end of the last note, Lin Chuyang stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt and squatted down gracefully, and then heard a burst of warm applause, mixed with cheers and whistles from men, and girls cheers.

Lin Chuyang looked around, and his eyes stopped at Lin Rantong: "Sister, my little sister didn't receive your gift for her birthday. I feel very sorry. Why don't I ask you to perform a show? It's a gift for me."

Lin Rantong saw that Lin Chuyang turned his finger on him again, so he had to stand up and said with a smile: "No problem, then I'll sing a song for you too."

"Ah, it's so boring to sing again. Chuyang, you play the piano so well. I think my sister can play the piano even better. Why don't you play one as well, so that we can feast our ears, and the two sisters each play a song, which sounds very good. Interesting." Yiyijiao said with a smile.

"That's right, that's good." Someone beside him echoed.

Lin Rantong looked at Lin Chuyang, and saw Lin Chuyang smiling and looking at her without making a sound.

Lin Rantong clenched her fists tightly. She lived with her grandparents since she was a child, but learned calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting from her grandfather. She can barely handle calligraphy with one hand, but musical instruments, because the old man didn't pay attention to them at all. She It's also a casual temperament, and I haven't touched it since I was a child.

It's not that Lin Chuyang doesn't know this, but now he insists on playing the piano by himself in public, is it obvious that he wants to make a fool of himself?
"Chuyang, are you sure you want me to play?" Lin Rantong asked again.

Lin Chuyang was still smiling like a flower, and Yiyi next to him said, "Chuyang, why is your sister so unrestrained, she really can't get on—"

Before finishing speaking, Lin Chuyang interrupted: "Yiyi, don't say that, my elder sister may be busy taking care of my precious nephew after giving birth, and she is unfamiliar with these things."

"What, she already has a child?" Many people exclaimed.

Lin Rantong's heart was filled with anger. She thought that today would be over if she wandered around casually, but she didn't expect that she would not let herself be safe. If this is the case, then I don't need to be polite.

Thinking of this, Lin Rantong scanned the crowd with a pair of clear phoenix eyes, walked to the piano calmly, sat down, stretched out his long and slender hands, and put them on.

　The author has something to say: There is one update today, but I still hold the lid of the pot and beg for a ticket, and I will update it tomorrow.
